I 12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, March 9,1994 Spring Provides Opportune Time for Chimney Cleaning Don't forget to include your fireplace fireplace or wood-stove when spring cleaning chores roll around. The ideal time for a thorough chimney cleaning is in the spring, says Randy Rcinert, Fire Prevention Inspector Inspector for Clarington. The entire system should be checked and cleaned just after the heating season ends, so repairs and replacement replacement parts can be ready for the fall, according to a publication he consults. consults. The heating system hints come from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Housing Corporation and the Ministry of Natural Resources.. Delaying cleaning can hasten deterioration deterioration of flue and chimney parts. "If you leave deposits in the system,-the system,-the warm humid summer air will cause corrosion of steel parts. Inspection Inspection in spring will give you plenty of time to order replacement parts and do any repairs before the fall heating season season begins," the guide states. All flues and chimneys should be checked regularly for soot and creosote creosote build-up. Chimney fires usually occur because the user was unaware of how fast deposits can develop, Re- inert adds. Older systems, or ones that smolder smolder too much, can need cleaning as often often as every three weeks. But, most modem systems operate so efficiently that cleaning is needed only once a year. Since November, the Clarington Fire Department has responded to 30 calls for heating appliance fires. Eight of these have turned into serious structure structure fires, Rcinert notes. These figures are higher than those of previous years, he says, likely because because the extreme cold winter caused more people to use their wood-stoves and fireplaces. Burning wood that hasn't dried completely can accelerate creosote build-up. Firewood should be cut and split in the early spring and stacked under cover to be ready for burning in the fall. "This year, there have been some problems with metal chimneys corroding corroding prematurely," Rcinert says. "We strongly recommend that people have their metal chimneys inspected by a reputable heating company or a professional professional chimney sweep." The Fire Prevention Office in Clarington Clarington also conducts inspections free of charge on wood stoves that have been installed for over a year. To request an inspection, call 436- 9699. The following list of safe heating tips comes from the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal: 1.

McLaughlin, know a thing or two about antiques. Many of the furnishings in this 55 room mansion which was once home to R.S. McLaughlin, co-founder of General Motors, are original and were collected collected by Colonel "Sam" from all corners corners of the world. But there is one antique in Park- wood that no-ones likes. The mam electrical service at Parkwood which was state-of-the-art when first installed in the early 1900's now represents an outdated . and potentially hazardous legacy. "Electricians thoroughly check the system on a regular basis so that we, can operate safely," said Brian Malcolm, Malcolm, Parkwood's manager. "However, "However, the demands of modem use have made the system inadequate and as the time passes there is the potential for danger." Building on the success of the 1992/93 fundraising campaign "A New Season Begins..." Parkwood has launched its 1994 campaign "Share The Experience" and will focus focus its $160,000 goal on repair work which will include the main electrical service and the Italian Garden. The Italian Garden is a serene formal formal garden surrounded on three sides by the walls of the mansion. The gar den is accessible from Col, "Sam's" Library and was known to be his favourite favourite place for private reflection. The once beautiful intricate wooden lattice work, statues and fountains have suffered the ravages of time and arc in desperate need of extensive restoration work.
